LOL@ IT...You must have a fear of clowns. I really don't consider Saw all that scary but more gory and it seems like each time a new one comes out, it is gorier than the previous one. I would have to say the 2 scariest movies for me were Halloween and The Exorcist with Nightmare on Elm St( the first one) running a close 3rd.

I gave my input on Hostel, if not here then I think in my movie thread. The first Nightmare on Elm St was scary to me because it focused on scare tactics. As more sequels came so did the comedy which made it lose it's edge to me as far as being scary. My favorite one liner from the sequels was "Welcome to prime time, bitch".

With Saw, yeah it could very well happen but I was given the impression he chose his victims according to how they lived their lives which most were not righteous. Kinda like Hannibal who liked eating those who were rude to him. Since I try to live my life most righteous, no worries there.

I thought Evil Dead 2 was funny as hell. Bruce Campbell was hilarious to me. I would never be in the situation that I was alone and isolated. I am not going to call anyone's name 5 times and wait to see what happens. I think Sci Fi's survival tips are funny as hell especially the one that said "You can't shoot what is already dead". My thoughts exactly....

Is that the guy from Wolf Creek? After seeing what he did to the others, I think my need for survival would kick in. But then again, it's not like I would be in the Aussie outback anyways..Put it this way, unless they come to the hood, I am good.....

The Shining rocks....nothing like seeing Shelley Duvall flailing around with a knife.

Loved when she saw the guy in the bear gettup about to the give the other guy a blowjob.

Reminds me it's time to plan a Shining viewing party...

Love that movie.

Wow, Aliens? Really? I never looked at it that way. I thought it was more of an action/suspense movie. I liked Ripley but also liked the way the aliens were taking people out. Just watched Alien Resurrection last night.

I watched The Exorcist when I was 10yrs old and it fucked me up. I was the scariest movie I saw.Nowadays I just turning on the TV and watching Bush and Co. in the White House scares the living hell out of me....

I see someone else likes Rob Zombie too. Strange land was Dee Snyder wasn't it? And I think you meant to say 2001 maniacs. I didn't think The Devil's Rejects was scary at all just a twisted view of a family of killers but liked the movie and the song FreeBird in it...

Now I know Bush is a scary person but he belongs over there in one of the political threads. Next thing you know Jack will be over here talking political stuff....

Most of the good ones have already been mentioned, Halloween (what else tonight?), Friday the 13th, The Omen (original and remake), The Exorcist and The Shining were all good movies Oh and not forgetting Salems Lot or for that matter anything based on Stephen King's books.

I've got to say though that the only movie which really freaked me out since I was a kid is The Blair Witch Project.

I watched it at the cinema and came away thinking WTF was that all about; after reading all the hype I was expecting to be scared shitless, but, NOPE!!

THEN

About a month later I was coming home from work late; miles from anywhere I needed a pee, the road was really quiet and being out in the wilds was unlit, I pulled over at the side of the road and was midstream when there was a sudden breeze, I don't know why but all the hair on the back of my neck stood on end. The wind blew the car door shut and at that point I really started to freak, peeing half way down my leg in my panic to get into the car, I got in and slammed the door shut, locking it as I started the engine, checking over the back seat to make sure there was nothing there. I burned some rubber getting away from that place - to hell with the speed limits, the panic didn't subside until I reached the town.

I laugh about it now but it was just blind panic at the time and it was also quite a long time before I ever felt really at ease again driving along that stretch of road.

Funny, but Blair Witch didn't scare me at the movies. I rented it one night and watched it alone at about 11:00pm and it scared the crap out of me. I never watched it again. All time favorite movie is "Aliens" but I consider that more science fiction horror. The movie that really freaked me out was "Hellraiser 2"! The Cenobites were so painfully horrible, cruel and scary that I was totally involved in the movie and the dimension it took place in. Pinhead is the coolest horror character and his sadomasochistic Gothic look is spectacular!

Read the book, its 10000x scarier than the movie... I spent nearly 4 months sleeping with the lights on when I first read that when I was a little one.

Please don't laugh at me, because I am hopelessly afraid of zombies. Every really scary nightmare I've ever had has been about zombies. I'm terrified at the thought because if a zombie invasion were to ever really happy I would probably just sit down and die. I don't think I have what it takes to hold out fighting off and escaping zombies. I'm too much of a wuss.

Although I suppose we can't really know unless it happens. I prefer to not know.

Strangely though I watch every zombie movie I can get my hands on.

George A. Romero is one of my personal Jesus... es (if you excuse me while I channel Depeche Mode for a second). I went to a Chiller Theatre convention a few years ago and got him to sign my Dawn of the Dead dvd. He shook my hand and took a picture with me and I was in nerdy boy heaven. I also got to see Savini and the three girls from Evil Dead.

I fully intend on seeing Bruce Campbell one day. I adore him. Army Of Darkness is one of the funniest most entertaining movies ever I think.

As far as being truly afraid, The Ring and The Grudge and Uzumaki (Spiral) scared the motherfucking shit out of me. I really suggest everyone watch Uzumaki. They have the entire thing up in parts on YouTube and it's a really trippy movie. I watched it at 3 in the morning one night and didn't sleep until the next night. People turn into snails and shit. It's fucked.

I am incapable of being afraid of IT because all I can think of when I see Tim Curry is Rocky Horror. And then I laugh.

Ooooh, I love movies by George Romero...But then I am a gamer and loves Resident Evil. Hellraiser was scary but then as each sequel came out it got less scarier to me. I just watched Hellraiser: Hellworld the other night. I did see the Grudge but wasn't very moved by it, still has to check out part 2.

I did indeed read IT by Stephen King and still nothing, sorry. I thought Tim Curry was more funny than anything and has never seen the Rocky Horror Picture show. I am hoping that his new one, The Mist will be better.

Mouse, if you liked Army of Darkness then you should definitely like the Evil Dead 2. Diary of the Dead? Is this the next installment of his zombie movies? I think Iggy mentioned Zombies on a Plane but that just doesn't seem realistic enough for me and I think anyone who would be in that position is pretty much fucked, it's either jump or get eaten...Hmmm, let me think.....

I see someone else likes Rob Zombie too. Strange land was Dee Snyder wasn't it? And I think you meant to say 2001 maniacs. I didn't think The Devil's Rejects was scary at all just a twisted view of a family of killers but liked the movie and the song FreeBird in it...

I can't believe there's no mention of Karen Black and the infamously frightening Zuni Fetish Doll in Trilogy of Terror.

That was a good one Philly. I remember it was the last tale in the movie Trilogy of Terror! That ugly voodoo/witchdoctor/warrior/whatever doll was one mean sob, and it was scary. My mom is a fan of Karen Black's old movies. I think she came out in another one of my old favorite scary movies titled "The Manitou"! She has a lump on her back and it turns out to be that it is not a lump but an embryo! She gives birth horribly and the thing just comes out of her back! Totally gross but great! I grew up watching all those horror flicks in the 70's! I miss those movies...

Tommy actually I thought you were going to correct me. I thought I missed something. It took someone telling me that A House of a 1000 Corpses was the prequel to the Devil's Rejects. Now I have been trying to catch Corpses on the movie channel. It was on IFC like a week ago but I missed it....

"Scary" movies amuse me more than anything. I think the psychological suspense ones get to me more than the gory ones.Love, love, love zombie movies. They crack me up.No clue why, it wasn't especially scary but I really like The Stand. Heck I like most Stephen King films.

All of the Saw flicks where good and 28 days later scared me when the car alarm went off. I could go for days but I'll leave it at that....

Yeah, The Stand was good. 28 days seemed kinda slow to me and to me I didn't have the fear factor so much because they were in a rage and not really zombies. I haven't seen 28 weeks later but I hope it is better than 28 days. Funny zombie movie was Shaun of the Dead....
